Chapter 44 The Han and Wei coalition forces have an 80% chance of winning

Fei Yi and Niu Jian’s rebuttal made the Lord’s father frown.

To be honest, the master's father himself also felt that what Fei Yi Niu Jian and the others said was right.

No matter how you look at it, there are two famous generals of the Han and Wei army, Bao Yuan and Gongsun Xi, with nearly twice the strength of the Qin people. The main general of the Qin army is another unknown person named Bai Qi. No matter how you look at it, you think that the Qin people cannot win.

However, after looking at Zhao He, the master's father felt a little hesitant again.

After experiencing the change of the Dune Palace, the Lord’s father’s view of Zhao He changed a lot.

The things Zhao He showed during the Sand Dune Palace Transformation were the master father who might not know about the plots of Anyang Jun, Zhao Cheng and others in advance, but now he naturally understands them.

Zhao He's son is definitely not a fool, and he is even smarter than many people.

How can Zhao He not know such a simple truth?

When the master saw Zhao He, he said, "Wang'er, let's talk about why the Qin army can beat the Han and Wei coalition?"

Zhao He paused for a moment, and was about to speak generously, but suddenly he found... sister, he really couldn't say it.

How to say it?

Could it be that I actually traveled over two thousand years later, and I had long known that Bai Qi would definitely defeat the Han and Wei coalition forces with fewer defeats?

No one believed this.

But Zhao He knew very well that he had to say something.

Now the mentality of waiting for the fight between Qin, Han and Wei and others to be on the side is undesirable.

According to historical records, Bai Qi beheaded 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces in the upcoming Battle of Yique!

There may be some exaggeration in this, but one thing is unquestionable, that is, the Han-Western coalition forces ushered in this war, which was an unprecedented defeat!

The Battle of Yique was a great war in the middle and late Warring States period, and it should not be taken lightly.

After Bai Qi won this big victory, Qin took three years to completely conquer Hedong County, Wei State, and obtained the base camp of Hedong, the former overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Qin State, which took over Hedong County, not only obtained a large population as a source of troops, but also had an important significance that Hedong County was also a famous granary!

In this way, when the Qin army went to the Central Plains, they could collect food and grass from Hedong nearby, without the need to transport grain from Guanzhong further away and west, which greatly improved the logistics.

In history, the Battle of Changping that broke out decades later, Qin State was able to hold a long stalemate with the Zhao army because of Hedong County, a granary near Shangdang County, and eventually dragged down the logistics of Zhao State, forcing King Xiaocheng of Zhao to change generals at the last minute, and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, and led the Zhao army to take the initiative. The next ending was... Oh, Huo, the end.

Let’s talk about the Battle of Yique. After this battle, Han and Wei could no longer stop the Qin army from coming out from the east. The Qin people, the tiger that was once locked in Guanzhong by Jin and Wei two overlords, finally broke free from the cage, like a tiger going down the mountain, and officially participated in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains.

If the national strength of Qin and Zhao was still between the 55th and 5th before the Battle of Yique, and there was still controversy over who was second and who was third, then after the Battle of Yique, Qin, which won Hedong County, would definitely be the one who suppressed Zhao, and could even be on par with the overlord Qi.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhao State!

In history, because Zhao State fell into chaos and recession after the Sha Dune Palace transformation, Zhao State was unable to pay attention to these matters at the time and could only sit back and watch the Qin State expand.

But now, everything is different!

The ending of the Dune Palace Transformation has been completely changed by Zhao He.

The failure of Anyang Jun, Zhao Cheng and Li Dui did not have any major impact on Zhao State.

Although there was also a wave of political purges, Zhao State is still very complete, and it is still the strong Zhao State at its peak.

Now Zhao State is fully capable of stopping Qin State and must also stop Qin State from advancing eastward!

Thinking of this, Zhao He was secretly anxious.

All of them here are the elites of Zhao State and the most outstanding people in the world. What Zhao He can think of can naturally be thought of, and they can also think of it.

But the problem is that the master father, Fei Yi, Niu Jian and others would never have thought that the Han and Wei countries, which seemed to have the advantage, would lose so thoroughly in the subsequent decisive battle, and even lose their underwear!

Therefore, they made completely different views and decisions from Zhao He.

But, this is wrong. And this error will lead to very serious consequences!

Zhao He felt that he had no choice but to find a way to change this situation.

Zhao He said in a deep voice: "Fat Army, General Niu Jian, you think the coalition forces of Han and Wei have the advantage, which makes sense. But have you ever thought that the Qin army has conquered Wusui and Xincheng in less than half a year since last autumn. There is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army has been conquering Wusui and Xincheng in less than half a year.

Normally, since Qin has achieved its goal, we can now start to find ways to stick to peace talks. But judging from the Qin King's behavior of replacing the chief general, what the Qin people want is not peace talks, but a victory!

It is true that Bai Qi is not very famous now, but the King of Qin is not a fool. He will not entrust the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers to an incompetent general. Being able to replace a veteran like Xiang Shou with Bai Qi must be because the King of Qin believes that Bai Qi can lead the Qin army to victory!

On the other hand, Han and Wei have superior military strength, and two famous generals, Bao Yuan and Gongsun Xi, will inevitably contempt the Qin army and Bai Qi. The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the Han and Wei coalition forces cannot be subordinate to each other, which may become a drag. Although this battle has not been fought, the victory or defeat has been decided, and the Qin army will undoubtedly win!"

Zhao He's face gradually became serious: "If the Qin army wins, then it will inevitably further attack and capture the Hedong County of Wei. If the Great Zhao waits for the Qin army to expand without doing anything, Hedong County will definitely fall! Hedong County borders Shangdang County and Jinyang, the old capital of Dazhao. If Hedong falls, Shangdang will be in danger and Jinyang will be in danger!

Therefore, in this battle, Da Zhao must send troops! Even if the fact that Han and Wei failed cannot be changed, we must find a way to restrain the Qin army. We cannot allow the Qin army to calmly occupy Hedong after defeating Han and Wei!"

After Zhao He finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell into thinking.

After a full moment, the master father said slowly: "The words of Wang'er sound reasonable. But if things really need to develop like this, then the Han and Wei coalition forces will not only be defeated, but also have to be a big defeat. General Niu Jian, what do you think?"

Niu Jian frowned, hesitated for a moment and said in a muffled voice: "In the opinion of the old minister, if I lead the Han and Wei coalition forces to fight, I have an 80% chance of winning."

The master's father said: "The chief general of the Han-Wei coalition army is Bao Yuan, Gongsun Xi, how do the general think these two are better than you?"

Niu Jian snorted and said, "Although these two people... are slightly inferior to the old minister, if the old minister starts a war with these two people, the victory or defeat is in the art of 55."

Although Niu Jian said it a little tactfully, his meaning was still very obvious.

This Zhao general believes that Bao Yuan and Gongsun Xi have a chance of winning!

After Niu Jian finished speaking, the ministers of Zhao State in the hall looked at each other.
Chapter completed!
